After Xun Yu's introduction, the entire mansion was silent.

It's not that Lu Bu has no one under him, but that Lu Bu himself is so dazzling that it completely covers up the light emitted by the generals under his command.

As far as Lu Bu's current strength is concerned, it is far from being able to compete with Cao Cao, because the strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

Cao Cao also knew the gap between the enemy and us, and it was not wise to confront Lu Bu head-to-head now, so he muttered a little and asked Yu Xunyu: "That...... What to do? ”

"Avoid its edge and advance by retreating." Xun Yu's eyes flashed with a touch of wisdom, and he said slowly.

Yuan Shao chose to block Lü Bu in Baima and Liyang, and a large part of the reason was that he wanted to use Cao Cao's team as a means to consume Lü Bu.

Cao Cao stroked his short hair, and a pair of deep eyes were making a choice.

Lu Bu has the banner of the Son of Heaven, no matter what he does, he can be upright and bright. In this way, those who stand opposite it will inevitably be labeled as anti-thieves.

Although the princes everywhere were reluctant to recognize the court in Guanzhong, this was an indisputable fact. Sometimes Cao Cao also thinks about how good it would be if Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, still existed in the world.

It's a pity that he died violently in the palace.

Cao Cao was quite curious about this confrontation and asked Yu Xun's uncle and nephew: "Lu and Yuan are fighting, what is the victory or defeat of the two sides?" ”

Xun Yu shook his head slightly and said, "It's hard to say." ”

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake.

Yuan Shao is entrenched in Jizhou, has been in business for many years, has strong soldiers and horses, and has a lot of strategists and fierce generals, even if he fights against Lu Bu, who is known for his bravery, he may not be defeated.

"However, it will take a long time, and it will definitely be Lu Bu's side that suffers, and there will be big problems in terms of supply alone." Xun Yu said with certainty, putting aside the combat strength of the two sides, Lu Bu's battle line is too long, and it will be a big drawback to fight a protracted war.

"It's good if you can make a quick decision, if you can't, Lu Bu is likely to be stuck in the mud here in Jizhou."

"Not only that, Lu Bu led an army of 50,000 to the east, which will inevitably cause an emptiness in the rear, I don't know if the lord has any thoughts about this?" Xun You, who took over the topic, also spoke.

"Youruo said......" Cao Cao was stunned at first, and then the light flashed in his small eyes.

Xun You nodded, and his tone was so flat that he was saying an inconspicuous little thing: "Doesn't the lord have the ambition to support the Han family?" This is the opportunity of the lord, when Lu and Yuan are deadlocked, take advantage of the opportunity to surprise the army, in order to close the middle! ”

Welcome the Son of Heaven to control the rebels!

This is the strategic plan given by the uncle and nephew of the Xun family to Cao Cao in the general direction.

"When the time comes, please let me be a pioneer!" When Xiahoudun heard that he was going to capture Guanzhong, his burly body stepped forward and took the lead in asking for his life.

"We are also willing to go with General Xiahou!"

The Cao brothers, Li Dian, and Le Jin came out to hug their fists at the same time,

Seeing this, Cao Cao stroked his hair and laughed: "It's rare that you have such ambition, but this matter is not in a hurry." Fang Cai Wenruo said that it would be necessary to wait until Yuan Shao and Lu Bu fought, according to my estimate, it would have to be several months! ”

"So, during this time, you and other good students are training, and you must train me to train a strong journey that can conquer Guanzhong!"

The generals in the hall glanced at each other, and at the same time responded loudly: "Command!" ”

At this time, the giant man who was guarding outside the door as high as an iron tower walked into the hall, and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, there is a figure at the door who claims to be the envoy of Jibei, saying that there is something important to tell the lord. ”

"Ask him to come in."

Cao Cao's use of the word 'please' is enough to show the importance he attaches to this person.

Jibei Xiang, is Bao Xin, not only Cao Cao's friends, but also one of the princes who jointly crusaded against Dong Zhuo.

At that time, Yuan Shao's prestige was very great, and the heroes of the world respected him. Only Bao Xin privately held Cao Cao's hand, his eyes were like torches, and he said with conviction, Meng De has great ambitions, and he will definitely be able to lead the world in the future and set things right.

Cao Cao just smiled at the time, saying that Bao Xin thought too highly of himself.

After obtaining Cao Cao's consent, Dian Wei soon led a young general into the hall.

"Jibei Xiang's subordinate military Sima - Yu Ban, meet Cao Yuanjun!"

The young man in silver armor clasped his fists and saluted Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked Yu Ban up and down, and couldn't help asking, "Did Yuncheng send you here?" ”

Yu Ban nodded, he glanced at Xun Yu and the others in the hall, and stopped talking.

Xun Yu and the others understood the meaning of this, and took the initiative to avoid suspicion: "Lord, then we will retire first." ”

Cao Cao maybe, let Xun Yu and the others come back, and Yu Ban, who was in the same hall, said: "Jun Sima has something to say, they are all my henchmen and humerus, Cao Mou can have today's status, thanks to their desperate service, so there is no need to shy away." ”

These words were extremely atmospheric, mixed with the majesty of the superior.

The Xun family's uncles and nephews had a touch of joy in their eyes, and they finally met Bole with these two thousand-mile horses. The generals' eyes couldn't help but redden, and Li Dianle was the most moved.

As everyone knows, Zhou, among the generals under Cao Cao, the Xiahou and Cao brothers are all Cao Cao's brothers in the clan and are deeply trusted by the lord. There are only two of them, who were recruited by Cao Cao.

So subconsciously, the two of them regarded themselves as outsiders.

And now Cao Cao's words are equivalent to giving a clear and definite answer, which makes Li Dianlejin's heart suddenly give birth to a heroic spirit of the death of a confidant.

Since Cao Cao said it so directly, Yu Ban no longer shy away from it, and said straight to the point: "A few months ago, Qingzhou moth thieves attacked the border of Yanzhou and ravaged the county ......"

Cao Cao knew these things, and even in the eastern county where he was located, there were many traces of moth thieves, but they were later expelled by the army he sent to suppress them.

"However, half a month ago, Liu Dai, the Yanzhou Mu stationed in Taishan County, did not listen to the advice, relied on his martial arts, and insisted on leading the army to meet the attack, but was killed by the moth thief general."

When he said this, Yu Ban couldn't help but sigh a little, the pastor of a state and the clan of the Han family would actually end up like this.

Knowing that Liu Dai was dead, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, what is this?

Liu Dai is a person who is reckless when he says it sounds good, but he is brainless when he says it is not good. I still learn to fight alone, how many catties and taels do I have, don't you have a point in my heart?

"Prime Minister Jibei sent me here to welcome you as the new lord of Yanzhou." Yu Ban clenched his fists again and said the ultimate purpose of this trip.

Before Cao Cao could answer, all the strategists and generals under his command were extremely excited.

"Lord, this is a gift from heaven to Yanzhou and you, you must take it!" Mao Jue's voice trembled a little, he was the first group of people to follow Cao Cao, and he watched Cao Cao develop step by step from nothing to today.

"Mengde, Dongjun is just a county, and Yanzhou is a whole state!" Seeing that Cao Cao didn't speak for a long time, Xiahoudun couldn't help but remind him loudly in a hurry, he was afraid that this clan brother would be confused at this time and talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality.

The difference between Yanzhou and Dongjun is more than a little bit apart. If he can sit firmly in Yanzhou, then Cao Cao will inevitably become a great prince in the world.

Of course, the most rare thing is that after Liu Dai's death, Bao Xin himself didn't have the slightest idea, but was the first to think of Cao Cao.

This move also happened to reflect Bao Xin's words back then.

Cao Cao remembered this friendship in his heart, he was never a moderate figure with a woman's kindness, and he would not pretend to say something prevaricating such as 'shallow virtue and ability' and 'choose another virtuous'.

Cao Cao's life creed is, no matter how many hardships and thorns there are in front of him, as long as he dares to give him a chance, I will dare to go!

Yanzhou ruled eight counties, Chen Liujun was in the hands of his old friend Zhang Miao, and Jibeiguo was in the hands of Bao Xin, plus the eastern county occupied by himself, and then removed the states and counties captured by the moth thieves. The rest are only one or two counties, and it is not difficult to subdue or defeat them.

After thinking in his heart, looking at Xiahoudun and the others all casting their eyes, they were already waiting impatiently and restlessly, Cao Cao laughed, and then walked out of the hall without saying a word.

Outside, the golden sun is warm.

Reflected in Cao Cao's face, which has nothing to do with handsomeness, shines with a unique charm that is unique to a mature monarch, calm and atmospheric.
